Conclusion

CDM is an incentive mechanism to support projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions

It is rooted in an international legal framework: UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol

CDM projects are developed in a structured, though perhaps bit complex procedure

The carbon market is increasing fast and it can have significant consequences on company performance
